Bismarck, January 28 (RHC)-- In the U.S. state of North Dakota, nearly three million gallons of saltwater created as a byproduct of oil drilling have leaked from a pipeline.

According to the Associated Press, the spill is the largest since the state’s oil boom began and nearly three times worse than the previous record. This comes after up to 50,000 gallons of oil spilled into the Yellowstone River in eastern Montana, where residents of Glendive and the surrounding area have been told not to drink their water.
